You Will Be Blessed If You Do Good Deeds¿-Chapter 171
Kookung, kookugung!
The sound of the sky and the earth separating made my ears deaf, and a blinding white light spread out, and for a moment I couldn’t see anything.
And then, an eternity passed.
“Ugh... ... !”
I looked around, holding onto the staggering Lee Pyeonghwa.
The surrounding scenery seemed to have changed nothing at all.
It was the same as the familiar Korean scenery.
Only a translucent dome had been created above the sky.
“Type 2 Dungeon Break... ... .”
I heard someone mumbling.
It was just as they said.
Dungeon Breaks are largely divided into two types. Type 1 is when we are sucked into another dimension, and Type 2 is when a dungeon is created in the Earth reality.
In other words, the meaning of Type 2 Break was simple. This area had now become a dungeon.
“Why is everyone making such a fuss? If you don’t keep quiet, I’ll call the police!”
“Hunters who have registered for the roster, please follow the instructions and don’t make a fuss!”
The voices of the civil servants who still couldn’t figure out the situation because they couldn’t read the system message.
“Wow, shit... ... I’m not seeing things right now, am I?”
“Dungeon Break... ...!”
“No, but didn’t you just stab someone? Lee Woon-gyeol collapsed!”
“He looks dead... ... .”
“Is that the problem right now? I told you the dungeon has gone off?!”
“If it’s a Type 2 dungeon, isn’t that a real problem?”
And then there was the commotion of the lower-level hunters.
I looked at the size of the giant dome visible in the sky and roughly calculated how much of the area was involved in this dungeon break.
‘At least... ... I think it’s a 5km radius.’
The current location was near Ui-dong, on the outskirts of Seoul, bordering Bukhansan Mountain.
It was an area on the outskirts of Seoul, but there were quite a few residential areas. There was even a pretty high-end hotel nearby.
During the Gwanghwamun Dungeon Break, it was only a building, but now I couldn’t even guess how many people were involved.
“Hahaha, everyone seems really flustered.”
And Nam Sung-hee must have known how big a deal he had gotten himself into, but he was laughing creepily as if he was out of touch with the world.
At Nam Sung-hee’s feet was Lee Woon-gyeol’s corpse, still gushing blood.
Lee Woon-gyeol stared at his mother with eyes of disbelief until the very end, and then died.
It was a death so absurd that it was almost in vain, considering that he had shouted that he wanted revenge on his mother.
“... ... ”
I’ve seen this kind of scene before.
Lee A-rin, whose life was destroyed, caused a Dungeon Break at the cost of her own life, drawing in her enemy, and as a result, succeeded in getting revenge.
Originally, if you destroy the Hunter’s ‘Soul Core’, you can artificially cause a dungeon break.
I calmly analyzed the situation.
‘The week of disappearance... ... was the time to create Lee Woon-gyeol’s soul core.’
Originally, in order to create a ‘Soul Core’, it was necessary to take care of it in its own way.
Just because you catch and kill any Hunter, it doesn’t mean that the dungeon break will occur.
However, loneliness had been taking hold in Lee Woon-gyeol’s body for a long time.
That means that the control of the magic circuit was transferred to someone else.
In other words, the conditions for Theo Yovanovic to create a soul core were already in place.
It was clearly my mistake not to have predicted this.
I backed off.
Of course, I also expected that Nam Sung-hee would attack me in some way.
That’s why I tried to strengthen my body quickly while also distancing myself from Lee Pyeong-hwa.
So that I could deal with Nam Sung-hee no matter what he did.
However, I didn’t know he would do something like this so quickly and in front of so many people.
He even killed his own son in front of other people and caused a dungeon break.
Isn’t this basically social suicide?
‘I thought Nam Sung-hee wouldn’t give up his social status, which was his strength... ... but that was a misjudgment.’
Nam Sung-hee really only wanted power as a hunter.
He was a person who would give up everything else... ... not to mention his children, and even the social reputation he had built up until now, in order to gain that power.
I didn’t properly understand Nam Sung-hee... ... It was my mistake.
“T-that guy, he’s dead... ... ugh!”
Lee Pyeong-hwa covered his mouth when he saw Lee Woon-gyeol’s body.
Rather than mourning Lee Woon-gyeol’s death, he seemed to be having a hard time accepting the reality that had come.
Even if you only saw Lee Pyeong-hwa a few times, it must have been shocking to see someone you knew die right in front of you.
On the other hand, Nam Sung-hee looked down at Lee Woon-gyeol’s body with eyes that had no emotion.
Looking at it this way, it was hard to tell who was related to that Lee Woon-gyeol.
“Still, it’s fortunate that he was useful at the last moment.”
Nam Sung-hee’s cold words fell. Lee Pyeong-hwa’s lips trembled.
“How can you say that? He’s your own son! You killed your own child with your own hands... ...!”
“He’s my child, whom I gave birth to, so I just wrote it, what’s the problem?”
“How can you treat someone like your own property... ...!”
“Stop it.”
I shook my head, stopping Lee Pyeong-hwa, who was about to say something more.
In any case, he’s not someone who can be criticized with common sense like that.
“... ... Well, that’s right. There’s no rule that says a mother will necessarily love her child.”
“What?”
Lee Pyeong-hwa was shocked by my words, and Nam Sung-hee grinned.
“I guess you can communicate with me. I regret suddenly sticking to you.”
“I’m just curious. Why on earth did you do something like this?”
I looked around at the people around me and said.
“I admit that I was caught off guard. But what difference would it make if I got so many people involved?”
“Why wouldn’t anything change?”
Nam Sung-hee laughed, spinning the dagger in his hand. The snake eyes carved into the item glowed sinisterly.
I frowned.
“You seem to be mistaken... ... This doesn’t give you an advantage. Do you think I can’t solve this one dungeon break?”
I don’t know how much of a dungeon break I caused, but I can easily defeat S-class monsters anyway.
And even if Nam Sung-hee is strong, the main thing he uses is Orbis’s item anyway.
Either way, he will never be my opponent.
“Rather, you dug your own grave. Now, there is no reason for me to look after you.”
“Is that really so?”
However, Nam Sung-hee’s attitude still seemed confident despite my criticism.
“You still want information about Yovanovic. No, information about the true owner of the Yovanovic family? But, oh my.”
Nam Sung-hee lightly looked down at his son’s body with a lawyerly smile.
“My son, who knows about the Yovanovic family besides me, is dead... ... Well, now I am the only one who can give you the information you want. You can’t kill me, right? Even now, you can tell by the fact that he’s not killing me right now.”
He wasn’t wrong.
Except that those words sounded extremely horrible to this former demon from a human perspective.
“... ... Even if you don’t kill them, there are endless ways to torment humans.”
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. I just took out insurance. I intend to beat you here.”
“You’re going to beat me? You?”
That’s ridiculous.
Of course, Orbis’s items were quite effective weapons, but they wouldn’t be enough to beat me.
“What on earth are you so confident about? Did you call reinforcements?”
If Nam Sung-hee had brought Theo Yovanovic to Korea in a week, it wouldn’t have been surprising for Nam Sung-hee to come out so confidently.
I don’t know for sure, but if he’s someone Orbis treats as his own, he wouldn’t be weak.
However, Nam Sung-hee denied even that possibility.
“Hahaha. That can’t be. You let me go because you wanted me to bring Yovanovic to Korea, right? I won’t act the way you expect.”
“... ... ”
“I’m enough to deal with you on my own, and you have a weakness.”
“Weakness, what the... ... .”
This time, the answer was not Nam Sung-hee, but something else.
The sword in Nam Sung-hee’s hand instantly extended its blade and swung into the air.
And then, the sword he swung fired an attack magic at me.
Boom!
Of course, to me, it was an attack magic at the level of a child.
‘What the hell is this.’
I casted a shield magic indifferently.
Of course, there was no reversal in Nam Sung-hee’s attack. The attack magic was blocked by the shield more easily than a yawn.
“What the hell are you doing... ...!”
Boom!
Boom!
But that wasn’t the problem.
“Ahhhh!”
“Help me!”
I opened my eyes wide.
‘No way... ...!’
“Aha, hahahahahaha!”
Nam Sung-hee started to shoot attack magic in all directions.
It seemed like childish magic to me, but that only applied to me.
Nam Sung-hee's magic poured into the people who were still making a fuss because they didn't fully understand the situation, and into the building.
"... ... annoying!"
Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.
I spread ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) the shield that I had spread around me wide.
And.
Wave Spear!
"... ... Huh!"
I clutched my chest at the feeling of the shield being destroyed.
Lee Pyeong-hwa shouted in shock.
"Hey, Jeong Da-on! Are you okay?!"
It wasn't really okay.
I quickly responded and succeeded in blocking the attack magic that was flying in all directions like a grenade.
However, the shield I spread broke after a short while.
It was obvious.
I was confident that I could withstand an attack from an S-class monster if it was instantaneous firepower, but... ...
No matter how thick the iron is, if you pound it and thin it out, it becomes like glass.
Even the area I had to protect was not that wide.
“Hehehe.”
Nam Seong-hee was watching me and laughing like a cat that had eaten its fill.
“Even if you are a great wizard, you can protect a radius of about 5km.
“Isn’t this a difficult task?”
I gritted my teeth.
“This damned thing... ...!”
Nam Sung-hee just now weakened his attack power to the level of a child’s play, and instead fired attacks in all directions.
With that level of attack power, the low-level hunters here wouldn’t die.
However, the attack magic Nam Sung-hee fired spread far and wide beyond this area.
It was literally like a firecracker shot into the sky.
If a normal person passing by here were to be unlucky enough to get hit by this attack, they would die instantly.
That’s why I had no choice but to spread my shield as wide as possible.
A shield that covered a 5km radius.
This wasn’t something even a country could do in a hurry.
However, I had to do it anyway.
- The ‘Good Deeds Bring Blessings¿’ quest is in progress.
- User ‘Jeong Da-on’ will have their abilities restricted if they act in a way that doesn’t conform to social standards.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
-‘The strong do not protect the weak’ is an unjust act.
Because if I leave the common people here alone, the system will sanction me!
“As expected, the master was right. He said that the only way to defeat you is to cause a dungeon break and bring in the common people. He said that you would overwork yourself to protect them.”
It felt like someone had hit Nam Sung-hee on the head with a hammer.
That woman is currently moving under Orbis’ orders.
And Orbis said that about my weakness?
‘This is ridiculous.’
I was once the ‘destroyer of the world.’
If I were the original me, I wouldn’t have cared much if the common people died.
And the one who knows my disposition the best is Orbis.
But Orbis said that... ... .
-The ‘Good deeds bring blessings¿’ quest is in progress.
- If you act in a way that conforms to social standards, you will be restricted from ‘Jeong Da-on’.
Orbis means that the system knows about the quest given to me!
My head was spinning.
‘How on earth does Orbis know about this?’
This is a contract made only between me and the system.
But how on earth does Orbis know about this?
Even the current system has defined Orbis as an ‘enemy of humanity’ and is desperately searching for it.
If Orbis had accessed the system, there was no way it wouldn’t have known... ... .
Thump, thump!
However, there was no room to continue thinking.
“Oh, it’s a monster!”
“The monsters are coming!”
People were shouting.
Sure enough, monsters were tearing through space from all directions and detecting new prey, and they were jumping out.
- System warning!
- A monster has appeared.
-B-Class Monster: Horned Boar
A giant boar-shaped monster leaped out of the air, spotted the people, and rushed at them in excitement.
“Ugh, ugh!”
“S-please save me!”
“Hey, where are you running away to! Don’t run away, fight... ... ugh!”
In an instant, the whole area became chaos.
And it wasn’t just this area.
Boom! Kwakwakwak!
People’s screams and explosions echoed here and there.
The monsters had started attacking the entire area that was trapped in the dungeon break.
Even the trained hunters were like this, so the confusion of the general public must have been even worse.
“Now it’s showtime. Well, let’s meet later.”
With those words, Nam Sung-hee started running away.
“I-ik, where... ... !”
“... ... Leave me alone.”
I stopped Lee Pyeong-hwa, who was trying to chase Nam Seong-hee with his sword drawn.
In fact, I also wanted to chase after him... ... but since my magic had been destroyed for a moment, I needed a little rest.
“Even if I kill that thing now, it won’t solve anything.”
“But... ...!”
Lee Pyeong-hwa, who was about to say something to me, suddenly fell backwards.
It was because someone grabbed Lee Pyeong-hwa’s body.
“Jung Da-on Hunter, please save me!”
The hunter who was running away from the monster pushed Lee Pyeong-hwa aside and came over to grab my arm urgently.
Looking at it this way, it seemed familiar.
I had become familiar with the faces of the people while conquering lower-level dungeons.
“Jung Da-on Hunter, you can solve this situation, right?”
“T-True! Try anything!”
“You’re the strongest among our hunters! Hurry up and do something... ... “Eww!”
They grabbed my arms here and there.
People who had been asking for my autograph and taking pictures several times.
“Hey, wait a minute. Jeong Da-on needs a break right now... ... Hey!”
Lee Pyeong-hwa, who was flustered, tried to stop them, but people who were desperate for survival were busy pushing Lee Pyeong-hwa away.
In the meantime, the screams of people who had already been killed by monsters.
The glass of the building shattered, and the roar of the monsters filled the air.
It was a total mess.
In the midst of all that, someone’s shout also rang in my ears.
“That’s not the problem right now. Jeong Da-on, Jeong Da-on Hunter!”
Her lips, pale with fear, were trembling without mercy.
“Ugh, my house is nearby, and my mother might have gotten caught up in it too... ... Please, help me! Come with me!”
-The quest ‘Doing Good Will Bring Blessings¿’ is in progress.
I bit my lip.
I must admit this one thing.
Orbis is still my greatest enemy in this world.
